This is the second cemetery of St. Stephen's Anglican Church of Chester, the original surrounding the church, which opened for services in June of 1840 and is still in use. Find A Grave lists 143 interments in the cemetery, a number which we believe to be at least slightly low. We would estimate the number to be closer to 200.

It's not certain when this cemetery was established, though the earliest interment found was that of infant Harris Andrew Cleveland, born August 25, 1909 and died January 25, 1910. Andrew was born and died at Marriotts Cove, NS. The cemetery is still active as the St. Stephen's Anglican Church Cemetery.
